5408.34.90.20 - Poplin or broadcloth (625)

This HTS category, 5408.34.90.20, specifically classifies printed woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn that do not fall under the more specific descriptions of sheeting, printcloth, or those with a satin or twill weave. The key characteristic here is the printing applied to the fabric, which distinguishes it from unprinted varieties. Within the broader scope of woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn, this classification applies to those that are not characterized by the specific weave structures or end-use terms assigned to its sibling categories.

To understand what falls under 5408.34.90.20, consider it the residual category for printed artificial filament woven fabrics that do not fit the definitions of 5408.34.90.30 (sheeting), 5408.34.90.40 (printcloth), or 5408.34.90.50 (satin weave or twill weave). Therefore, this classification is intended for printed poplin or broadcloth, as indicated by the parenthetical note (625), which are also woven from artificial filament yarns and do not possess the defining features of the other listed sibling categories at this level.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification concludes at this level, meaning that goods meeting the criteria of printed woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn, specifically poplin or broadcloth, and not fitting into the more narrowly defined sibling categories, will be classified under 5408.34.90.20. The emphasis remains on the material (artificial filament yarn), construction (woven), decoration (printed), and the specific weave type (poplin or broadcloth) when not otherwise specified by its siblings.
